We Know Not the Hour

Verse 1 ~

We know not the hour
     of the Master’s appearing,
Yet signs all foretell
     that the moment is nearing,
When He shall return
     ’tis a promise most cheering -
But we know not the hour.

Refrain ~

He will come,
     let us watch and be ready;
He will come,
     hallelujah! hallelujah!
He will come in the clouds
     of His Father’s bright glory -
But we know not the hour.

Verse 2 ~

There’s light for the wise
     who are seeking salvation,
There’s truth in the Book
     of divine revelation.
Each prophecy points
     to the great consummation -
But we know not the hour.

Verse 3 ~

We’ll watch and we’ll pray,
     with our lamps trimmed and burning,
We’ll work and we’ll wait
     till the Master’s returning,
We’ll sing and rejoice,
     every omen discerning -
But we know not the hour.
